Through the magic of the Classic Albums documentary series, you will soon be able to journey back to that brief, golden moment in time when Duran Duran was still cool (we pause briefly here to dodge a succession of axes defensively flung by an offended batch of never-say-die 40-year-old Durannies). In 1982, Duran Duran hadn't quite taken over the world yet and become bothersome in their ubiquity, nor had they descended to the kind of obnoxious overkill-pop that gave the '80s a bad name ("Wild Boys," "Notorious"). Their second album, Rio, was a sleek, classy hit machine full of sophisticated songcraft, winning melodies, and just the right amount of post-Bowie, New Romantic, synth-tinged glamour. October 27 is the date that's been set to inform the world about the inside story of its making, when Eagle Rock Entertainment releases the Classic Albums: Rio DVD. No word yet on whether it includes bonus blooper footage of the boys' misadventures in fashion accessorizing.
